"THEIR TESTIMONY 
MUST BE
REGARDED AS THE HIGHEST AUTHORITY on all matters of occult doctrine 
and
practice. And here it must be stated unequivocally that from the 
point of
view of the "original programme" of the Society, no theosophical 
association
has any raison d'etre if it does not remain true to the Masters and 
their
teaching. There are some who seem to believe that it is possible to be
faithful to the Masters while denying even the theoretical truth of 
their
teaching. This is where the responsibility of the old Theosophical 
Society
is so grave. In his Introduction to The Mahatma Letters the writer had
occasion to point out in what important particulars that Society 
showed by
its actions a serious divergence from the spirit and letter of the 
original
teaching. That volume proves beyond question that H. P. B.'s writings 
are
absolutely consistent with the Masters' teachings, and in nothing is 
this
more clearly discernible than in her exposition of the doctrines 
relating to
the Life after Death.

A. TREVOR BARKER.
